Napco Commercial™ Firewolf-Series Components

for 32 to 255 Point 24V Commercial Fire Systems:

SYSTEM

• Main Control board supports up to two (2) Addressable Fire SLCs

(addressable Signaling Line Circuit controllers). (Note: Only 1 SLC is
accomodated within the Medium panel enclosure.*)

• Fire 4-wire bus for keypads and non-SLC (conventional) devices,

including 12V devices

• Power Supply includes either 4A or 7A @ 24V

• RS-232 Printer Module for optional onsite parallel printer

• Supports up to 7 fire keypads, GEMC-FK1, mounted anywhere on the

bus. (As few as one keypad required on system for equipment savings.)

• Easy-to-use Gemini-style menu-driven operation with backlit custom
alphanumeric display and functionality for
Reset, Acknowledge, Silence (with disable).

• Full Keyswitch Support

• Synch module built in on each NAC (System Sensor & Wheelock

protocols)

• Dual Phone Line built in

• 2 On board serial ports - one for internet reporting; one for
high-speed local downloading

• TCP/IP Internet reporting module

• Regulated Auxiliary Power Supplies - Commercial fire, 12V regulated

2A or 1.75A version with plug in transfomer

• Addressable SLC Loop Isolator (optional use - for some fire

applications requiring increased circuit integrity, e.g., meets Class A,
Style 7 loop requirements.

• Choice of two enclosures - Between the studs enclosures, recess or

surface mount –

• Larger version supports up to 32 AH at 24V. Dimensions: 24” x

14.25” x 5.2” (H x W x D) without cover. Removable battery shelves,
accommodate pairs of 7Ah, 7.5Ah and 8Ah batteries, etc.

• Medium Enclosure – supports 16 AH at 24V. Dimensions: 16”x

14.25” x 5.2” (H x W x D) without cover. (*Note: Only 1 SLC is
accomodated.) 16Ah battery backup capacity.

INPUTS

Up to 255 Zones. Zones can come from any of the following
initiating devices:

• Addressable SLC Loop – supports up to (2) 126 point loops

• Commercial RF Receiver –

• Supports Commercial Wireless Fire devices

• Wireless Smoke Detector

• Wireless Heat Detector

• Conventional 1- to 4-zone EZM Expansion modules on the 4-wire fire

bus or SLC loops

• Conventional 2-wire or 4-wire smoke detector input module

• SLC Fire Devices Supported:

• Analog Smoke Detector

• Analog Heat Detector

• Duct Detector

• Pull Station

• Conventional Zone Module

• Short Circuit Isolator

Advantages

• Easy Wire Compatibility - Addressable SLC

controller supports shielded, unshielded,
twisted and untwisted wire - ideal for retrofits

• Longer SLC loop lengths, support more

device loads each, too (see below for
distance at maximum device load in alarm/
standby each):

• 10,000 ft. #14AWG • 6,200 ft. #16AWG •
4,000 ft. #18AWG

• Support for Legacy and Existing Notification Appliances -One

NAC output configurable for 12V for compatibility for easy retrofit
compatibility

• UL Regulated NAC outputs

• Automatic drift compensation for smoke detectors

• Keypads mount anywhere on the bus and have flash-able firmware –

for updates via Quickloader command (# GEMC-FK1, shown above)

• Programmable obscuration level by smoke detector device

• Smoke Obscuration Report genererated remotely or locally or in any

of 3 ways - Quickloader device sensitivity report allows the printout of
a report for the AHJ listing the current status of all smoke detectors
in the system including the programmed obscuration level and the
actual sensitivity reading for each device. This report can be generated
remotely (uploaded) or locally through notebook PC or use optional
onsite printer.

• Full line of UL Commercial Devices for more flexibility & labor-savings

Example, Use Gemini Commercial Wireless 2-input module (GEMC­WL-WD2) to convert any UL listed fire device into a UL wireless device,
ideal for sprinkler supervisories or for use with pull stations (mounts on
top of wall/conduit or in deep sngle-gang box (plastic).

• Separate 7Amp 4-NAC Extender (GEM-NAC7) 4 onboard NACs with

up to 2A ea., expandable for up to 24 per system. Up to 16Ah total
battery capacity. Regulated 24V Aux. power. Monitors AC, battery
trouble, tamper and ground fault on Napco bus - Also Provides

Universal FACP support for easy standardization in upgrades

OUTPUTS

Up to 96 outputs

• Four on board Class B or 2 Class A NAC circuits, 2 amps each, total 6.5

amps at 24V

• Built in Wheelock and System Sensor NAC sync/strobe/horn protocol

allows initial silence of audible appliances while maintaining visual
notification, without the use of additional modules.

• Addressable SLC Fire Devices: Supervised relay, unsupervised relay

• Fire 4-wire bus devices: 8 zone form C relay (GEMC-RM3008), 8 open

collector output (GEMC-OUT8)
